Join a dynamic new wine business with a sustainability focus based in the stunning region of Margaret River, Western Australia.

Overstory currently has an exciting opportunity for a supportive and proactive company accountant.

Are you an experienced CPA or CA qualified accountant with a passion for reporting, performance analysis, budgeting, and operational support? We are seeking a collaborative individual with at least 5 years of expertise, with a sound knowledge of SAP B1 software viewed as highly advantageous but not essential (dependent on IT acumen). As a key player on the team, you'll need proficiency to support the financial management of various business areas and brand locations. We are looking for someone with a strong attention to detail, practical mindset, and team player attitude.

While not essential, experience and knowledge of the wine industry will give you a head start in this role.

Reporting directly to the Business Manager and CEO, you'll have the opportunity to:

Provide input and support to the strategic growth and development of the business.
Prepare financial reports, including sales performance against budget, cost of goods, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and inter-entity consolidation.
Oversee the budget process and other forecasting requirements to drive commercial sustainability and foster informed decision-making.
Manage payroll, superannuation and leave liability.
Monitor and manage cash flow and provide accurate cashflow forecasts.
Create and deliver insightful commentary, analysis, and reports on the company's performance to the management team.
Manage wine taxation and ATO reporting requirements.
Work with the business manager to ensure optimal alignment of ERP systems, including SAP B1 software.
Supervise finance team members.
Proactively seek improvement in finance management processes, efficiencies, analysis and planning.

Our preference is to engage a resident of the southwest region; however, we are open to applicants from Perth under the provision that they be willing to undertake regular travel as required for the role.
